What is a Holistic Detox - Living with The Spirit

How To Do a Healthy Detox

The idea of a detox is to restore your health on a deeper level so your body and spirit is aligned and not being drained by anything that doesn’t serve you. Common issues that can get well addressed by detoxing ranges from food cravings, mood swings, low energy levels and internal inbalance. By increasing the natural functions of our organs and organ systems we gain better nutritional absorption, increase GI health and boost our immune system. We will guide you to a healthy detox.

Parasite & Fungus

Parasites and fungus can lower your nutrient absorption and they actively steal energy from your body, which drains your immune system. Parasites and fungus makes you open for all kind of different infections and diseases and is beneficial to address from time to time. The most common fungus is candida, and it is specifically responsible for sugar cravings as it nourishes on fast sugar rich simple carbohydrates items.

Organs and systems

The human system works much like a sports team who doesn’t perform optimal if not all players play together. It causes uneven stress to individual players (organs) causing the system to malfunction and the body can sustain heavy damages as a result. The most important organ in the body when it comes to natural detoxification is the liver which serves as a general cleaner within the body. For example if you drink alcohol the liver will be heavily affected in the process of clearing out the toxins from the body that the ingested alcohol brings. If one organ is overly loaded due to high demands from faulty nutrition, chemicals, medical drugs etc it affects not only the organ itself but other organs as well.

The human nervous system is often connected by several points per nervous link and the muscles and organs are connected through the very same loop. By weakening the organ you also weaken the muscle which creates poor posture and over time can compress the organ. This compression of body space restricts the organ from working according to its natural rhythm.

Emotional body

The emotional body is the layer of energy beyond the etheric body and is unique to each individual and contains all your emotions and feelings. When you do a fast, you can’t stop dealing with your emotions, you can’t suppress your emotions through food anymore. As the detox process takes place and fat is broken down and used for fuel, these old emotions are gonna come up and come out.

Beyond cleaning your colon and regenerating your physical body, fasting is really about stripping away all these emotional traumas and deep held things that have been within us, potentially our whole life. It’s often these exact same traumas that are the very reason behind illness and excess weight in the body.

To detox in a holistic manner we clean out everything we got piled up in our systems through a individual designed cleansing protocol. The protocol is based on professional assessments which shows where to start our process and which organs to be addressed first.

Part from different types of fasts the detox often includes oils and tinctures that boosts specific organs functions back to it’s natural working capacity. We will eliminate fast sugar rich high-carbohydrates, gmo (genetic modified organism), pesticide or herbicide treated products, red meat (because of its long metabolic absorption time), gluten and alcohol from our daily diet.

We also address our lifestyle to raise our vitals which will make it harder for parasites and fungus to enter or our systems. This includes the way we think, move, eat, drink, breath, sleep, the people we have around us and the choices we make in life. Basically it has to do with every aspect of our life. Whenever we are out of balance we create toxic environments in our body which invite parasites and fungus infections.

Detox protocol

Our intention is to become beacons of energy who can create any kind of lifestyle we desire. In order to get there we will clean out our body and spirit once and for all. We want to let go of everything our previous lifestyles has brought upon us and get the ability to start fresh.

We will commence a devoted detox period of six months to begin with and we will adjust accordingly to how our bodies feel. We will most likely end up on two different schedules due to individual reactions. The whole idea is not to feel terrible during the detox, but instead flow with our bodies and make choices that are sustainable, long term and according to our set intention.

The base of our program will be a 80% raw-food and fruit diet. The remaining 20% will be vegan and gluten free cooked meals. During the first month we plan to do three types of fasts: master cleanse fast, watermelon juice fast and a short dry fast.

The period of the first three fasts will give us a good idea of what is going on in our bodies and what we need to address besides the basics. We will also order tinctures and oils to help clean out our organs properly. The tinctures will cover the lymph system (body removal system), kidneys, liver, adrenal glands, thyroid and digestive system.

Movement and cardiovascular health

A big part of detoxification is to aid the body with the right kind of movements to get the organ systems to function optimal. This can be done with crossover movements (right-left side of the body crosses over the midline), posture aligning (so that the thoracic and abdominal cavity have more space for the organs to perform at their best) by not restricting the blood flow to any part of the body created by tight or weak musculatures.

By proper use of corrective training we address weak and strong muscles balances in order to work as a team. Additional to movement we will also use massage, steam sauna and hot/cold showers to alleviate the body to further clear out toxins and to increase the natural flow of its fluids.

Working in holistic health means being open to a broader view of philosophies and not to shy away from different ways to achieve optimal health. As we follow our intuition detoxing becomes a natural step in our process in order to strive after a healthier lifestyle.

Fun!

Although this experience will most likely push us out of our comfort zones we will remind ourselves to have fun along the way and not to go too far. Life is about love and joy, not suffering and pain. We will for sure make this program as comfortable as possible by enjoying that extra massage, ordering that super yummy smoothie and taking a extra ride to the hot springs if needed.
